SQLite is undeniably open source yet the general public can't contribute code to it, so I'm not sure why that's meant to be the defining feature in the case of the book.
The earlier request for a .tex source file was on the mark, but accepting contributions has nothing to do with it.
- maximinus_thrax 3y agoPlease don't strawman my argument. The idea was that I don't have access to the raw assets used to compile the book, not necessarily that I want to contribute to it. Say I want to fork it.
- pc86 3y agoIt's not a strawman just because it hurts your argument. :) The point is that you can't reasonably say SQLite is not open source, and the limitations around SQLite and this book are comparable. So it's not an immediate "No. End of discussion." that the book isn't open source. You're entitled to your opinion but you probably shouldn't act like everyone else is an idiot for disagreeing with you.
